Dr. Schedtky also criticized Yale for opining on the innocence of Woody Allen, saying that that was the job of the Court, not the team at Yale.

Dr. Diane Schetky is an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont, co-author of the textbook Child Sexual Abuse and co-editor of Clinical Handbook of Child Psychiatry and the Law.

The Yale team used psychologists on Allen's payroll to make mental health conclusions. "That seems like a blatant conflict of interest; they should have excluded themselves," Schetky says.

· Custody recommendations were made even though the team never saw Allen and any of the children together. "I'd sure want that information," Schetky says.

· The team refused to interview witnesses who could have corroborated the molestation claims.

· The team destroyed its notes. "I don't know why they would," Schetky says. "They shouldn't have anything to hide, unless there's disagreement."

· Leventhal, the only medical doctor on the team, did not interview Dylan. "How can you write about someone you've never seen?" Schetky asks.
